Rucka and Burchett to launch steampunk webcomic in July

The Stumptown Trade Review posted an audio interview with writer Greg Rucka yesterday, covering a wide range of topics, including an announcement for a new webcomic he’s doing with artist Rick Burchett.

Called Lady Sabre and the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether, Rucka describes it as a “steampunk, pirates, western thing,” noting it would feature airships, floating islands, gunslingers, sword fights and “hopefully witty dialogue.” It’s planned as an ongoing webcomic, and they’re looking to launch it in early July.

Rucka added that they hope to make money off of it so they can fund American Soldier, which he said doesn’t have a publisher yet.
